computer guys i need you help

[ryan_lalande]

i am trying t o make dvds.

i have downloaded a bunch of movies, television shows, and some of my favorite cartoons as a kid.

my problem is this. i need to get them to burn on a dvd so it will play in my dvd player on my t.v

now i believe this means i need to convert the type of file that movies are.

i though nero did this on its own, but its not and i do a test burn and nero tells me that there is a good chance the dvd will not play in a dvd burner cause of the file type

all i did was select "burn dvd video"
selected my files
then clicked burn
then nero tells me it wont work in my dvd player

anyone that may know anything about this i would appreciate your help

Hm, I'm sure this thread will get moved later on.

Sounds like you are creating a DVD ROM for PC instead of a DVD Video for DVD player.

Here's a website that might be useful

This link uses Nero to create a DVD video after you've authored it using some other software

This link uses Tmpgenc to create your DVD video from MPG videos

Once you've created your DVD structure, you can then use Nero to burn it. I don't think Nero alone can author DVDs.
